Twilight i tall

Det er utrolig hva man finner når man surfer lenge nok på nettet etter Twilightrariteter. Dette er det absolutt morsomste jeg har lest på lenge: Twilight i tall! At noen som er så kritisk - i hvert fall tilsynelatende - gidder å foreta en slik opptelling, er utenfor min fatteevne, men jeg fikk meg en virkeliggod latter...

I would have kept track of how many times Edward's mood shifts unexpectedly and for no reason, but I didn't have that much paper. I am sad, though, that I didn't keep track of how many times words like "granite," "stone," and "marble" are used in reference to Edward. His arms, his lips. Explain to me how kissing cold, marble lips is at all appealing. And yet it makes Bella faint. I give up."

Det er også litt fanfiction involvert:

"Edward removed his shoes and rolled up the cuffs of his jeans, and I gasped at the sight of his white, smooth ankles. Sunlight reflected off his toenails, each an ivory glint of perfection. I’d never seen Edward’s feet before. I hadn’t realized he could be more beautiful than he was, but there seemed no end to his beauty."
